Monarchy is a scam and should be abolished!
It will be replaced by a president nigel farage
That sounds like we have shit voters, rather than advocating for having a royal family.
There are plenty of countries without a royal family that aren't doing badly.
Yes. We do. That's why having a politically neutral head of state is necessary. We know that for our lifetimes, our head of state will be just a figurehead and not politically involved, and be a somewhat decent (albeit flawed) person. (unless Prince George somehow goes bad, but he has a good father)

Yet. The same could have been said about the USA 10 years ago. But they roll a die every four years. We have a head of state change every 10-70 years and we always know who the next one is going to be.
The only good and practical argument for a democratically elected head of state is just virtue signalling and on paper being against inherited power and pretending that nepotism doesn't exist.
And also, to be for democracy yet claim you have "shit voters" is a contradiction in itself. You disagree with the voters, but if you're in a democracy, it's kind of hard to argue that the voting base is being objectively "shit"
BroBot9000,
You're logic and reasoning have won me to your side.
Let's toss out our system of government.
Yes, yes we definitely should adopt an American-style government with the 'checks and balance'.
Absolutely nothing dangerous going on in the world these days.
Let's roll the dice!
lol. Because Iβm against an outdated archaic system doesnβt mean I want to replaced with another corrupt government.
That fact that you use the US to justify the monarchy is fucking laughably stupid.
Socialism, universal basic income and proportional representation are never going to happen under the rule of a fucking King.
Enjoy your gruel peasant.
The UK is more socialist than the USA and has a King. The UK also has proportional representation in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The UK uses first past the post in Westminster because it democratically rejected the alternative vote in 2011. Universal Basic Income definitely can happen under a monarchy. I don't see how the monarchy makes it not the case. If it's because of a "rich head of state", Donald Trump, the democratically elected head of state of the USA is richer than our King. Even our previous prime minister was richer than our king.
Keep spouting your larpist drivel, you talk as if the King knocks on your door every morning and escorts you to his palace to be his human footrest
Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are all still monarchies and they're doing alright on the socialism front
